It’s hard to picture this beautiful, peaceful farming country as it was on September 17, 1862, the scene of a horrific battle between the Union and Confederate armies that left bodies heaped in the fields. Over 23,000 men were killed, wounded or missing. A small museum, movie, driving tour and trails explain the battle very well.
Most of the park is accessible. The visitor center theater has wheelchair spaces behind the last row of seats with movable benches for other people in the party. The museum is down a floor, accessed by a lift operated by a ranger. Most of the signs along the driving tour can be read without exiting your vehicle. Short trails are hard surfaced. The observation tower, which provides an elevated view of the Sunken Road, is not accessible.
Several long pull-in parking spaces are available for RVs and buses. The pull offs along the driving tour are large enough for RVs. Battlefield
